What the Heezy?

2. I think I hear files containing doping charges against Jamaica sliding across a desk as I type.

3. Tell me, why do some think they are entitled to do whatever the hell they want?

9. Yup, I think the time is coming for me to move on.

10. Teej, I think I may have to try your "lyric listing method" just once to see if I can do it. ;-)

11. Would it be ok to beat the hell outta one of those kids in the store who won't stop screaming over some dumb piece of candy, toy, chips, etc.?

12. Seriously, I do know the answer to that. But would it be ok to beat the hell outta the parent for letting them act out like that in public in the first place?

13. On second thought, I think that happens to be a much better plan.

14. I take on my mom’s motto on that one, “Where you show out, is where you get worked out.”

15. She said that like it was a freaking Commandment. Acted as such too!

16. I got plenty of smack downs in department stores. HA!

17. Thinking of that, I can only imagine what I’m going to get back when I procreate.

18. Mercy, please? Please?

22. On the other hand, if you don't, it can be a big ol' pile of ish!

23. Don't act like you don't know what I'm saying!

24. I'm not really one for road rage, but that lady that I flipped off last week really deserved it.

25. If I saw her again, I would probably do the exact same thing.

26. No regrets.

27. Somehow, I think I am doing this backwards, but I've just started working out again.

28. Yeah, I am, but I figure I'll be good and tight for my big 3-0 bday in the dead of winter!

29. As a child I dreamed for a July bday.

30. I never really did get over that, but I guess I need to give that up!

31. I suppose E.Lynn Harris showed yall that he can write hetero-fiction!

38. What's on your "go cop it" list?

The "F" Word

I know what you're thinking, but it's not that "F" word (although at times, they can be related)
For the purpose of this blog, the "F" Word is forgiveness.

Now as a Christian, I truly believe in the idea of forgiveness. It's just what we are supposed to do. If this is the case, then why am I having such a hard time doing so? I've concluded that forgiveness takes more than just saying the words and making a few required gestures. They are only the tip of the berg! The embodiment of the "F" Word goes deeper than that.

I've dealt with the inital step. Believe it or not, this took an extreme exercise in humility. I had to realize that everything isn't about me all of the time. With this being understood, I now know that even though it seems as such, the wrongdoings of others aren't always a deliberate attack against me.

I also understand that I am harboring feelings of resentment because I cannot seem to release my mental shackles. I know that this affects my actions in almost every realm of my life. Sure, I feel powerless in some instances. Sure, I know that I need to exercise forgiveness in order for me to regain that power. Now this is where I get stuck.

I know there has to be another step in the process because I haven't completely enveloped the true meaning of the "F" Word. I haven't reached it's ultimate goal. I am looking for a way to let some things go and move past the facade of forgiveness and enter into it's true realm.

Suggestions?
